Canoo to port ULC Visual Editor to new Eclipse framework

Swiss company participates in the Eclipse Visual Editor project

Basel, Switzerland (PRWEB) November 22, 2003 - Canoo Engineering AG today announced that it is porting ULC Visual Editor to the new Eclipse visual GUI construction and editor platform (http://www.eclipse.org/vep). The company has been invited to participate in the Eclipse Visual Editor project. Following its decision to contribute to the open development tools and API, Canoo has decided to port ULC Visual Editor for WebSphere Studio (http://www.canoo.com/ulc/products/ulcvisualeditor.html) to the Eclipse Visual Editor framework.

ULC Visual Editor is a "drag-and-drop" GUI designer plug-in, providing developers with real-time feedback during interface development. By porting ULC Visual Editor to the Eclipse framework, more developers can benefit from this new ULC tool.

The release of the Eclipse version of ULC Visual Editor is planned for Q2/2004.

About ULC
ULC is a GUI component library to develop rich thin clients for browser and desktop applications. ULC's server-side programming model allows developers to design GUIs as if they were running on the server. The GUI library takes care of the client/server code split and optimizes network traffic. The application is deployed on the server, while an application-independent presentation engine handles the user interface on the client.

ULC is based on standards and integrates with any J2EE software. It provides developers with a homogeneous environment and speeds up the development and deployment of client/server applications.
